In a franchise-shaking Week 10 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers last season, the game that finally saw Daniel Jones lose his job, the New York Giants felt with certainty the impact of poor running back ball security.
Then-rookie Tyrone Tracy wrecked an 18-carry, 103-yard individual performance and a chance for the Giants rescue an awful game by fumbling on the first play of overtime, setting Carolina up at the New York 23-yard line and leading to a 36-yard field goal that dropped the Giants to 2-8.
The Giants are excited about Tracy, as they should be after a rookie season that saw him 1,123 yards from scrimmage despite not getting meaningful playing time until Week 5.
